There will be many a variations of this soup. This is what I have been following for a long time, and its just my way of making it. I do not claim this to be the authentic recipe for it, for I have no idea what's the right recipe for it.

This was one of the very first soups I tasted when I came to this country, the food place being Olive Garden. Many a times, we used to go to Olive garden just for this Soup. I wouldn't enjoy the rest of the Entree's or the rest of the meal as much as I would enjoy this (of course, some of their entree's are just superb and some I haven't liked that much). Why I'm talking of this is that my inspiration for the soup is based on the Minestrone Soup at Olive Garden. Ofcourse, I don't know their recipe, but I follow this recipe everytime and we all like it just fine.

Also, a lovely 'Friends' Award that my friend Ashwini of NannaAdige passed on to me. Thank you dear Ashwini and am happy and honored to get it from you.The award states that:"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement (? big word, lol). Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

Going by the rules and picking out eight friends, I would like to pass this on to these lovely people:
